While we've seen the smashing success of Royal Enfield in recent times and more recently the hype surrounding the resurrection of the Jawa brand, a lesser-known manufacturer called Cleveland CycleWerks (CCW) also aims to tap into this segment with its range of small capacity old-school offerings. The US-based company made its India debut at the 2018 Auto Expo and has tied up with Laish Madison Werks Pvt. Ltd. for the assembly and sale of its motorcycles. The Cleveland Ace Deluxe is the first offering from the manufacturer and we took the retro motorcycle out for a spin to find out what it has to offer.

So there you have it. A capable family car now gets even more capable with the launch of the new Ertiga. It is priced well, comes packed to the gills with features and is more spacious too. It also handles and performs better and honestly, apart from the fact that it could have had a better set of wheels, LED daytime running lights with LED headlamps and that the automatic desperately needs a fully loaded Z+ model, Maruti Suzuki yet again have made a great package. With bookings open at Maruti Suzuki Arena dealerships across the country and waiting periods already starting to creep up, if you have been waiting for our review to decide whether or not you should buy one, our answer is a definitive and thumping yes! And if you are worried about your next Uber or Ola being the exact same car as your brand new ertiga, Maruti Suzuki has clearly mentioned that this new gen model will be only for the private market... for now at least.

BMW has decided to test waters with the only all-electric car in its global portfolio by bringing a few to India. The car is not going on sale anytime soon, but will play a flagship role anyway showcasing the brands technology and also gauging market response for a potential feasibility to actually offer it to Indian buyers in the future. We are the first to get to drive it on Indian soil!

The Mini Cooper S Oxford Edition gets all the fancy bits that were introduced when the facelift came around. So you get the new round LED daytime running lights, the new LED headlamps and of course, the new - and really quite cool - Union Jack LED tail lamps.
